Optional but handy: the spudger lifts the key without scratching or bending the mechanism, and the thin blade of the flat screwdriver unhooks the plastic hinge and helps clip it back in.

On these keyboards, this genuine MX Keys key takes the place of the official one: same scissor mechanism and mounting, with a legend and finish that may differ slightly.
Where is the 7 key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the 7 key on the numeric keypad sits to the left of the 8, below Num Lock. With Num Lock on, it types 7; with Num Lock off, it acts as Home, the function printed under the digit. If the keypad moves the cursor instead of typing, press Num Lock.
About the 7 (Num) replacement key
An incomplete keypad slows down every figure you type: this 7 (Num) key for the MX Keys, shipped with its hinge, replaces the missing one. A genuine salvaged part: the 7 (Num) key is taken, pre-owned, from a dismantled keyboard and shipped without a dome.
Compatibility
This 7 (Num) keycap fits the full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac), the only ones with a numeric keypad: the MX Keys Mini has none, so there is no place for it there. The legend is that of the QWERTZ (CH) layout.
The 7 (Num) key: position, size and wear
Only the full-size MX Keys has a numeric keypad; its keys take bursts of one-handed presses whenever figures are keyed in. A key this size has no stabiliser, so all of its support comes from the X-shaped hinge and its four anchor points. When the 7 (Num) key starts to lean or comes away, that hinge is nearly always what failed, well before the cap.
How to install it
Allow under a minute to refit the 7 (Num) key, bare-handed or with a plastic spudger: free the old hinge if it is broken, clip the new one in the same orientation, then press straight down on the cap until you feel a soft click. To test it, turn Num Lock on first; otherwise the keypad moves the cursor instead of typing.
7 (Num) key — questions
- Where is the 7 key on the numeric keypad and what does it do?
- On a full-size Logitech MX Keys, the 7 key on the numeric keypad sits to the left of the 8, below Num Lock. With Num Lock on, it types 7; with Num Lock off, it acts as Home, the function printed under the digit. If the keypad moves the cursor instead of typing, press Num Lock.
- Will the 7 (Num) key fit my MX Keys?
- Yes, if it is a full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTZ (CH) layout. The MX Keys Mini has no numeric keypad.
- Is the hinge included with the 7 (Num) key?
- Yes, the X-shaped hinge comes with the 7 (Num) key — it is often the part that broke. Only the rubber dome is not supplied: it stays in place on the keyboard under the 7 (Num) key, and domes are sold in packs among our spare parts.
- My 7 (Num) key moves the cursor instead of typing — do I need a new one?
- Not necessarily: if the whole keypad does the same, Num Lock is off. Press it once; the MX Keys has no indicator light, but Logi Options+ can show its status on screen. If only this key fails, its hinge or dome is at fault.
Check your keyboard's brand
You are looking at a Logitech key. Keycap and hinge differ between brands: this key will not fit an Apple keyboard.
